The Daytrippers (1996) review

90's "nostalgia" (unearthed by the Criterion gang) has Eliza (Hope Davis) suspecting her husband Louis (Stanley Tucci) of cheating - after finding a suspicious 'love note' - so she gathers her mother (Anne Meara), father (Pat McNamara), sister (Parker Posey) and her sister's boyfriend (Liev Schreiber) to drive to NYC and stalk him.  It's a flimsy romp with some petty bickering - it was influenced, no doubt, by sitcoms like Friends and Seinfeld - that doesn't last in the memory but has some charming elements: Schreiber's chatty character is a construction worker and a novelist and message therapist and defends the aristocracy (boo!) while Marcia Gay Harden's receptionist is uncharacteristically bubbly.  This is the kind of movie where its inhabitants can't walk a full block without running into someone who just so happens to be an expert on the work of Andrew Marvell who, I'm sorry to report, did not start Marvel Comics.
